the Corvallis boys and under
took to do them up. There was
little indication of there purpose
for the work of the camp went
on harmoniously. A number of
candidates had riddeu the goat
and the business of the evening
was about over when the invaders

their guard, and were completely
surprised, almost paralyzed.
Dilley was thetirst to regain
composure and in a neat speech
mingled with surprise and
pleasure he responded and ac
cepted Monroe's handsome
gift. Meanwhile others of the
home boys had been busy and
a bounteous banquet was spread
to which all did justice. Then
followed music; story-telling and
a social good time until the
hands on the dial pointed to
midnight. The evening was
voted a great success. The
